Hou Jun was overwhelmed.
"Xiao Ge Ju Zhong Hui" is not a very popular program, but everyone has been making this program for several seasons. The reason why it has been able to last for so long is because of the love for this program.
However, Hou Jun has never met a singer who was dissatisfied with the rehearsal and had to redo it almost ten times.
Chen Ziliang is one of the most popular singers nowadays and also the biggest star in this episode of "Xiaoge Juzhonghui".
Because of this, each singer was originally supposed to rehearse at most three times, but Chen Ziliang had already rehearsed for the tenth time, and the program team did not refuse.
However, after the singers finish rehearsing, they still have a lot of preparation work to do. At this rate, they won’t be able to finish work until two or three in the morning tonight.
It was not until 10:30 in the evening that Chen Ziliang was satisfied and ended the rehearsal.
Hou Jun asked, "Who else wants to rehearse?"
"Lu Yanhe, he arrived at nine o'clock and has been waiting." Wang Lu immediately raised her hand and said.
Hou Jun: "Him, call him over quickly, ah."
Hou Jun, a director who has always been active in music variety shows, does not have much interest in Lu Yanhe.
If Lu Yanhe hadn't just been on the news and his aura of positive energy was not what the program needed, they wouldn't have given him an emergency squeeze and added him to the program recording tomorrow.
The person who made this decision was not Hou Jun, he was just the executor of the task.
Deep down, Hou Jun doesn't have much respect for young idol singers like Lu Yanhe.
The staff on site all looked tired.
This is also the norm in this industry.
"Why on earth did they add such an idol singer into the mix?"
"Have you ever heard him sing? It's like a mosquito humming."
"I think Brother Wang will curse when he does the audio editing in the later stages."
…
The discussions disappeared when Lu Yanhe and Wang Lu appeared in the studio.
His school uniform attracted everyone's attention.
Wearing school uniform to rehearsal?
Hou Jun arranged for someone to take him to the stage to prepare for the game, and he took the opportunity to go to the toilet.
When he came back, Lu Yanhe was testing the microphone.
Hou Jun looked at the boy on the stage and asked, "Can you come directly?"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
His image is really fresh and clean, without any makeup, he looks like a very ordinary handsome high school student.
This image made Hou Jun have a better impression of him.
Hou Jun signaled all departments to get ready.
The accompaniment started.
Lu Yanhe stood on the stage, feeling a little nervous for a moment.
Oh my god, it’s my first time singing in front of so many people.
The people below the stage had expressionless faces, looking at him as if he were a decoration.
These are all signs of being a social animal who has been devastated by work.
Lu Yanhe suddenly lost his focus and missed the beginning of the song.
Everyone's expression changed immediately.
Only then did he react, took a deep breath, bared his teeth, and immediately followed from the middle.
“…I thought it was an unattainable dream, and I didn’t dare to give up everything to pursue it.”
As soon as Lu Yanhe opened his mouth, all the expressionless people were stunned. They raised their heads in surprise and looked at Lu Yanhe on the stage.
The moment he opened his mouth, the youthful vigor and energy of the boy came to the fore.
Before Lu Yanhe arrived, Hou Jun had looked for videos of him singing online. Honestly, his pitch was okay, he stayed on tune, and his range was acceptable, but his singing was just too ordinary, devoid of any style or individuality.
Hou Jun had no expectations for Lu Yanhe's singing at all.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Yanhe opened his mouth, he gave off a completely different feeling from that in the video.
Lu Yanhe is eighteen years old this year, and he is at the most suitable age to sing "Dream Chasing Boy".
This song is youthful, passionate and full of vigor. Of course, it was written for a group of teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen to sing.
Lu Yanhe sang casually and easily, giving people a sense of fearlessness of a young man who knows no worries.
Especially when it came to the high notes, Lu Yanhe was able to reach that scale with ease, without any effort at all, unlike many young idol singers who had to scream out at the top of their lungs.
Hou Jun looked at the young man on the stage in surprise.
Compared to the person he saw in the video, the improvement was huge.
In the past two years, Lu Yanhe has almost disappeared. Hou Jun thought that Lu Yanhe's skills, which were not very good to begin with, had long since deteriorated.
I didn't expect that I actually had some of the qualities of a professional singer.
The most important thing is that when he sings this song, it's like a new actor being chosen by the director to play a role that is true to himself, with a youthful vigor that even professional singers cannot replace.
A song is finished.
Lu Yanhe said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Hou Jun applauded and said, "It's okay, you sang very well. Have you been taking further studies in the past two years? You've made great progress."
Lu Yanhe smiled in surprise and shook his head, "I didn't study, I just figured it out on my own."
He smiled brightly.
Hou Jun said: "When you sing this song, there will be dancers behind you. Originally, we wanted you to show off your dancing skills with them, but because you had too little time to prepare, we didn't add the dancing part."
"That's great." Lu Yanhe really couldn't learn another dance in one day.
"Do it again?" Hou Jun asked.
"Director, I just sent an audio file. Please give it to the audio teacher. Can I try this song?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Hou Jun was stunned. "Huh? What audio?"
"It's a song I wrote myself," Lu Yanhe said. "I know 'Dream Chaser' was already decided, but would you like to listen to my song again? If you think it's okay, I'd like to try this one."
Hou Jun looked hesitant when he heard this.
Honestly, Lu Yanhe's performance today had greatly exceeded Hou Jun's expectations. He was especially impressed by Lu Yanhe's rendition of "Dream Chaser." He anticipated that with Lu Yanhe's performance, if he could successfully create a hashtag like #Lu Yanhe sings "Dream Chaser" again after three years#, it would likely generate significant online interest.
"Okay, you can sing it," Hou Jun said, "but can you write songs yourself?"
Lu Yanhe said, "I just wrote it casually. If you think it's not good enough, forget it. Let's just sing 'Dream Chaser'."
Despite saying so, Lu Yanhe was very confident in the song he had created with his cheat code. After all, it was the must-play song for graduation season that became a hit on the streets.
The accompaniment started.
A feeling of freshness comes over you.
If the previous "Dream Chasing Boy" was full of youthful passion, this song, from the moment the accompaniment sounds, has a campus style with a hint of sadness.
In the original time and space, the author and singer of this song was a 17-year-old girl who was only 15 years old when she wrote the song. However, this song is not only about the girl's thoughts, but also about the reluctance to leave the three years of junior high school and the commemoration of the youthful years.
Different singers can bring different styles to a song.
As soon as Lu Yanhe opened his mouth, his voice, which was lower than that in "Dream Chasing Boy", had a sunny and free-spirited sound texture. When combined with the slightly melancholic and reluctant style of this song, the people present looked up in surprise again.
